Recording professional voicemail greetings is easy but many people find it to be akin to public speaking, and are therefore apprehensive about starting. First of all, lets acknowledge the elephant in the room and just say that nobody in the history of the world enjoys the sound of their voices being played back to them. Once you can accept that, getting a professional voicemail greeting or Auto Attendant menu recorded will be a lot easier. To help you get the right tone and tenor of what you’re trying to communicate over you business voicemail, we’ve put together this handy list of resources for you.
-So long as phones can ring and eyes can see, leave a message, and I’ll get back to thee.
If you do not want to use your voicemail and would like to turn it off, please contact us to remove the service from your number. At this time, there is no self-service option for turning off voicemail.
Please note that if you record an unavailable greeting, it will be used instead of the default message with your name recording.
Create a clear, concise outgoing message for your answering machine. Tell the caller exactly what information you expect so you can easily return the call. For example, you could say, “Please leave your name, number, and the time you called.”
After the tone, leave your name, number, and tell where you left the money. I’ll get back to you as soon as it’s safe for you to come out of hiding.
Put some thought into your message before you hit “record.” It takes very little time to write a script for yourself to read as you record your greeting. Reading off a script eliminates unnecessary pauses, “ums” and “ahs.”
32. Hi, you’ve reached [your name] at [your company]. I’m away from my desk. Please leave your name, number and a message, and I will get right back to you.
Before you record your business voicemail greeting, be sure to rehearse it so you feel comfortable and don’t stumble around. You might want to write a script and practice a few times out loud beforehand.
Mood can also play an important factor in your recording. Record the greeting in a quiet place, remember to smile, and focus on leaving a positive message that’s sure to please your customers. (Tendant provides an example script you can leverage for your voicemail greeting.) Cut through the noise by speaking clearly. From honking horns to spotty cell service, callers often have their own background noise to contend with. The last thing you want is a missed message due to a lack of clarity, so make sure your outgoing greeting is clear, concise, and recorded at a reasonable pace.
